Plot summary
He Anxia is a simple monk in a secluded Taoist temple. Because of his trouble making, and because the master wants him to see the outside world, he is asked to leave and descends the mountain for the first time in his life. In the city below he meets Cui Daoning, a doctor of Chinese medicine who owns an apothecary. Cui feels sorry for the younger man and finds his antics funny, so he takes Anxia in as an apprentice. Working in the shop, Anxia learns that Cui has a much younger brother, Daorong, a ne'er-do-well who is constantly in debt.
